* **Check the IMU output**. Connect to the drone using QGroundControl on your computer. Go to the *Analyze* tab, *MAVLINK Inspector*. Plot the data from the `SCALED_IMU` message. The gyroscope and accelerometer data should change according to the drone movement.
* **Check the motors type**. Motors with exact 3.7V voltage are needed, not ranged working voltage (3.7V — 6V).

The second Flix RoboCamp event took place in July 2026 in Saint Petersburg. The main goal for the competitors was to build a Flix-based quadcopter and implement **autonomous position control** using distance sensors and an overhead camera. Several participants were able to implement altitude hold, and two participants implemented stable position hold.
### Highlights
The winning project performed an automatic takeoff, stable position hold (2 min+), and navigation to a point selected by the user by clicking on the camera image.
